ESS is attempting to back out of the dyno event they themselves requested?

Roman at ESS is now attempting to back out of the tuner dyno day shootout. I would like to remind everyone, ESS requested this dyno comparison themselves and asked BimmerBoost to schedule it. Now that the date is nearing, ESS is going back on their word at the last minute

I received this e-mail from Roman:

This was my response:

We have over a half dozen companies waiting on ESS. BMS has agreed and has been patiently waiting. MHP agreed although the date change now inconvenience them. Gintani agreed and said they would accept the date change for ESS. OE Tuning agreed and said they accept the date change to wait for ESS. Powerchip said they do not mind the date change and look forward to it. Vishnu has agreed in proxy and we also have GIAC representation. G-power is ready with their supercharger representation.

BimmerBoost has worked tirelessly to make this event happen at substantial cost as any of these companies can attest. We have been on the phones and e-mailing back and forth for what is almost 4 months now.

ESS requested this event, led everyone on, and now is backing down from their own challenge. BimmerBoost has considerable cost tied to the event and will not simply let it go. DC Performance has a large amount of revenue dependent on the event. Literally dozens of people, companies will be hurt financially and inconvenienced by ESS not honoring its own request.

We would like the BMW community to encourage ESS to participate as they had agreed, please contact Roman and make it known you would like to see the event take place as planned:

Ok, I understand you are busy no need to confirm the exactly date yet. But you do agree to a friendly dyno comparison? Your E92 M3 tune vs. others, Your SC vs. others, and how about your N54 tune as well?

Absolutely! We have been wanting to do this since day 1, fair and independent comparisons is what the public needs. This way we know exactly what is what under the exact same conditions. Do you have a dyno facility in mind that could work? We prefer DynoJet as neither dyno or drf files can be manipulated if that is cool with you? We also have to rig up some sort of fuel extraction system so we can empty and refill cars from the same pump before testing to eliminate octane variables. Boost logging is also a must imo.

You do not need to use them of course if you have your own desired accommodations, just providing them as a common courtesy since you are from out of state. Feel free to look over the details here and I have you tuning on every platform we will feature except for the diesel. If you wish to tune the diesel as well, let me know: http://www.bimmerboost.com/showthrea...2485#post32485

Thank you once again for suggesting this as well as stating you have been wanting to to this since day one. I agree with you, this is exactly what the public needs and I look forward to meeting you!

I have been following all the emails. I am planning on coming to the event. If ESS backs out I suggest we trash them on all BMW forums, report them to the BBB, etc. I may be old school but when I commit to something that other people are counting on, I don't back out unless there is a good reason such as illness.

It's hard to dispute hard facts. The emails are pretty clear about where ESS stood before, back in May. Sticky acted on those conversations, and did a bang up job of collecting all of the respective tuners to have a proper shootout (and representation for those companies that couldn't make it).

The more I see the associations that some of the vendors have with/against each other, the more it irritates the living hell out of me.

Hide behind whatever you want, but facts are facts. Man up or walk away crying.

ESS just seems to carry this attitude like their $#@! don't stink and that no one else can tune like that can and that every other company should bow down. Which is funny cause they haven't earned that reputation no matter how many people bought their kits.

On another note Mspired I find it odd that you continue to talk bad about ESS on various forums. You have never owned one of our products and you have 0 expierence with our tuning but you somehow seem to be an expert on our products and how they perform. If I remember correctly you contacted me asking for our help after you blew your motor I guess you are just along for the ride with your friends then ?

Weak excuse imo. Sticky isn't going to be operating the equipment so what do you care if he organized it or not? Besides if that was a problem you should have stated that from the very beginning not that last minute its not like he just now got his Gintani kit so get real. Besides how would that possibly affect the outcome if he has no control of the testing equipment? It wouldn't make a difference if he did it or I did it or mike did it or you did it so I don't get where you're coming from sorry. Quit acting like ESS's $#@! don't stink and get out there and do your thing or get ran the $#@! over by the competition its real simple.

What is biased about this event? You are getting everything AJ asked for. Everything will be documented and there will be witnesses. You KNOW it will be fair, you are just using that as an excuse cause it's all you got to use to back out and run away.

I talk bad about ESS because of actions JUST LIKE THIS along with manipulating dyno's, lying, ect ect. I have given praise to your products in certain places, but your business practices, well, your actions in this case are a prime example of your used car sales man approach and tactics.

I contacted you guys for certain hardware considerations, does that mean I think you guys are great? :stop:
